Pregnancy etiquette - how did you do?

We're looking for stories about how you dealt with different, potentially 'thorny' issues during pregnancy. Things like:

Asking someone to give up a seat on a packed train / bus and everyone is studiously ignoring your bumpA friend cooking a meal containing things I'm not supposed to eat - before I've announced I'm expecting or even afterwards!Someone bought me my old 'usual' of a vodka and tonic/ double espresso - how do I get out of drinking itCan I ask friends not to smoke around meWhat if I don't want my partner to be at the birthMy friend had a miscarriage - how do I tell her I'm pregnantWhat do I say if a stranger touches my belly? Do I have to give my child my partner's surname OR do I have to give my child a traditional (and silly) family middle name?

We'd love to hear your short stories (you can submit them anonymously if you want) so please send them in an email to claire.roberts@natmags.co.uk
